As Africa’s qualification campaign for the 2026 FIFA World Cup progresses, several forwards have made their mark with clinical finishing in front of goal.
With the competition intensifying, some of the continent’s top attacking talents continue to dominate the scoring charts.
Standout Performers
- Mohamed Salah (Egypt) – The prolific Egyptian forward remains a key attacking asset, consistently finding the back of the net in these qualifiers.
- Mahmoud Trezeguet (Egypt) – The winger has been equally lethal in front of goal, currently sharing the top scorer title with Salah.
Beyond these standout names, several other African players have delivered impressive performances for their national teams, bolstering their sides’ chances of qualification.
However, with crucial fixtures ahead, the top scorer rankings remain fluid, and the competition for the golden boot is expected to intensify as the qualifiers progress.
